Buy them from autozone, then turn in your old ones as cores a few days later. It’s a little shady, but it works.

bastards didnt send the brakes with my clip…
the tt and na brake systems are all the same except the 1990 NA rotors were just a tad bit thinner i do believe…
you can try for a used pair junkyards, ebay, [z1motorsports.com](http://z1motorsports.com), courtesyparts…or any z forum like [zdriver.com](http://zdriver.com), [300zxclub.com](http://300zxclub.com), and [twinturbo.net](http://twinturbo.net)…maybe some 240 forums will have them for sale too seeing that it is a popular upgrade among the 240 group
for new, [czp.us](http://czp.us) is good…
edit: or you can just sign up on [zdriver.com](http://zdriver.com), and from their 300zx performance/technical pages, there should be a thread at the top titled something like “general Z32 info” and it has every link to every distributor, video, diy, etc you need for 300zx related stuff…

Nooooooooooo 🙂
There are 3 Z32 Calipers;
26mm Aluminum (Only used on '90 NAs)
30mm Aluminum (Used on '90 TTs and all Z32s '91-\>'93)
30mm Iron (Used on all Z32s '94+)
You’ll never find a new, never used set of calipers (since they don’t make them anymore.) All you can buy are re-manufactured calipers. Either find a used set on [www.twinturbo.net](http://www.twinturbo.net) / the internet, or anty-up and pay the $500+ for a re-man pair from a autoparts store like Autozone (since you won’t have a core.) You could try and use your stockers as a core… in that case it would cost around $200 for re-mans… but you’d have to figure out a way to get away with it.

If you’re trying to do a swap The easiest way would be to get a set from an autoparts store. If you buy a loaded caliper you get the mounting bracket, new pins and all. The counter person at advance or autozone is not going to know the calipers you return aren’t the same. Just pay cash.
